Poetry to Empower Humanity

This week I’d like to share a few pieces of poetry. In light of a world with so many challenges, maybe we can discover a moment of reflection and healing in these words. Sending good energy out into the world, may there be peace, may there be hope, and may there be courage. RS
I COME FROM a LONG LINE of POWERFUL WOMEN
I Come from a long line of powerful women
they were warriors
of light
whom built bridges
nations would cross
They were homesteaders
and herders
and shepherds
and queens
I come from a long line of powerful women
I come from kingdoms
that did not incarcerate
but set free
the peaceable
I come from Mary
and Eva
and Amina
and Lady Jane Grey
They were huntresses
of right mindedness
gathering fruits
from trees bared
wisdom infinite
I come from them all
do not question
my worth —
request my gift
I come from a long line of powerful women
FORWARD into JUSTICE
Each of us
on sacred journey’s
fever to move
—forward
sunny days
in better ways
forging pathways
our children gaze
and our children’s
children blaze
upright clear
not in fear
But deeper still
justice in action
lives conviction
lays down truth
in forward traction
—home.
RESTING PRAYER
Let me
exume
the peace
of this land
Let me
cover
myself in
its dust
Of ancient lore
nook and nebula
come cosmic grace
explore
Let me
taste
thy elegance
sweet your relevance
Through lips
of genteel men
from men
who begin again
In
the courage of
you and I
set forth thrive
